Why does the case class in Scala needs to have compulsory parenthesis().

      case class TestCase() {}

Why it cannot be like below:

      case class TestCase {}

This is to avoid mistakes. If you have a case class without args it means all case classes that you create will be identical so in most cases what you really mean is to do case object
